These seem to generally have ELF support.
FWIW ARM QEMU won't boot an ELF kernel -- the assumption is that an ELF file is not a kernel and should just be put into RAM and run, whereas a non-ELF file is a kernel and gets the special setup/handling of secondary CPUs/etc that the Booting document requires. thanks -- PMM
